Subject: staging: greybus: timesync: validate platform state callback

From: Rui Miguel Silva <rmfrfs@gmail.com>

commit b17c1bba9cec1727451b906d9a0c209774624873 upstream.

When tearingdown timesync, and not in arche platform, the state platform
callback is not initialized. That will trigger the following NULL
dereferencing.
CallTrace:

So, fix that by adding checks before use the callback.
